1. Patients with chronic cholecystitis. Patients with chronic cholecystitis should avoid spicy foods such as chili oil, white liquor, and mustard, as these foods stimulate gastric acid secretion, which can easily cause gallbladder contraction and induce biliary colic.
2. Individuals with poor gastrointestinal function. Although chili oil can stimulate the appetite, for those with poor gastrointestinal function, especially those with gastric ulcers, consuming chili oil can cause inflammation of the gastrointestinal mucosa.
3. Patients with kidney disease. Research has shown that foods and spicy seasonings containing irritating ingredients, such as chili, green onions, ginger, garlic, curry, mustard, and pepper, as well as vegetables rich in volatile oils like chives, celery, and small red radishes, are often excreted through the kidneys during the body's metabolic process. These spicy ingredients have varying degrees of irritant effects on the kidneys and, in severe cases, can affect kidney function. Therefore, patients with kidney disease should not consume them.
4. Patients with hemorrhoids. If patients with hemorrhoids consume large amounts of spicy foods like chili oil, it will irritate the gastrointestinal tract, intensify hemorrhoid pain, and even lead to symptoms such as bleeding.
5. Individuals with eye diseases. Patients with eye diseases such as conjunctivitis and keratitis will find their condition worsened by consuming chili oil. During treatment, consuming large amounts of spicy foods like chili, ginger, garlic, pepper, and mustard can also affect the therapeutic efficacy.
6. Individuals with heat-related symptoms. For those with heat-related symptoms such as fever, constipation, nosebleeds, dry mouth and throat, and a sore throat, eating spicy food will aggravate these symptoms.
7. Postpartum women. In the first week after childbirth, consuming chili oil can not only cause the mother to suffer from "internal heat" and symptoms like severe constipation, but it can also affect the infant, worsening their internal heat condition.
8. Patients with oral ulcers. Patients with oral ulcers are sensitive to salty, spicy, sour, and bitter flavors, and consuming chili oil will intensify the pain.
